Nigel and Sydney quickly disconnected the phone before Nigel stormed off furiously into the nearby storage cupboard. Sydney followed him. His face was red with anger and he held a sharp rod in his hand.</div> <div> "I'm gonna go in there and I'm gonna... I'm gonna..."</div> <div> "Put that down, Nigel!" commanded Sydney, " You heard what Claudia said- there are at least fifty guys in that cult... now, unless we want our blood sucked, too, we'll be clever about this!"</div> <div> "And do what?!" asked Nigel in desperation.</div> <div> "Well, legend has it..."</div> <div> "Legend?!" cried Nigel, in disbelief, "This is Claudia's life we're talking about and you're going by legend!"</div> <div> "All right!" said Sydney, "There is a lot of evidence to suggest... that a man named Ferdinand de Bonce hid a supernatural defense kit in Maplewood Park"</div> <div> Nigel's eyes suddenly brightened up.</div> <div> "Yes... yes... I read about it a long time ago!"</div> <div> "In it was a cross, holy water and a ring of love... a vampire's worst nightmare" commented Sydney, "If we can find these, we stand a better chance of finding Claudia!" </div> <div> "I'll see what I can find on the internet" suggested Nigel.</div> <div> "OK, Nigel... but remember the sacrifice begins in two hours- we don't have long!"</div> <div> ***********************************************************************************************************************</div> <div> Sydney came into the office- inspecting a book at the same time. Nigel was busily typing on the computer.</div> <div> "Found anything interesting yet?" asked Sydney.</div> <div> "Well, as it goes... Maplewood was infected with vampires in the 18th century. This guy Ferdinand was the protector of the city... and slayed his last vampire in 1972. Apart from that... it's all about the name of his father and the colour of his hair when he was born!" explained Nigel.</div> <div> Sydney sighed and stared intently at the screen.</div> <div> "Hey... doesn't this strike you as interesting, Nigel?!" exclaimed Sydney, pointing at a particular point on the screen.</div> <div> "The part about his autobiography?" inquired Nigel.</div> <div> "Yes, two pages were torn out- 3 and 10" remarked Sydney.</div> <div> Nigel pondered it for a while. </div> <div> "I can't see anything significant about it, Sydney... they both add up to thirteen, perhaps?" offered Nigel.</div> <div> "3 and 10" Sydney muttered to herself. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with excitement and she nudged Nigel in the ribs!</div> <div> "3 and 10" she repeated, hoping he'd catch on to her drift. He did.</div> <div> "Co-ordinates!" they said together excitedly.</div> <div> "Print me off a map of Maplewood" commanded Sydney, "We'll check out the spot immediately! Claudia's life depends on it!"</div> <div> ***********************************************************************************************************************</div> <div> Claudia lay tied up to a chair... she was exhausted from the events and her previous struggling. So, it was hardly surprising that when a tall, dark male entered the room, she didn't bat an eyelid.</div> <div> "Who was on the other line of the telephone?" asked the man.</div> <div> "You're gonna kill me anyway!" commented Claudia.</div> <div> "Unless you want you're teeth extracted one by one, you will tell me!" screamed the man, "Someone heard everything on the other line and I want to know who it was! Now, who was on the other line of the telephone?"</div> <div> "Sydney!" squeaked Claudia, "Sydney Fox"</div> <div> "The world famous relic hunter!" announced the man, with disgust, "That explains why no one has attempted to save ol' Claudia yet... she's probably gonna bring some form of defense"</div> <div> With that, the man pointed at two others standing nearby. </div> <div> "You two" he addressed, "Track down Sydney Fox... and don't return until you have finished her off... for good!"</div> <div> He then turned to Claudia- "And you my sweet, savour your last hours of life... for when the ceremonial wine has boiled, you will be... no more! Hahahahahahaha!"</div> <div> **********************************************************************************************************************</div> <div> Sydney and Nigel made their way through the park. The thick bushes and slippery grass didn't make it easy for the two of them, and very soon Nigel was complaining. </div> <div> "Are you sure we should trust that 3 and 10 are co-ordinates?" asked Nigel, "Really, 3 and 10 could mean anything... postcodes, telephone numbers"</div> <div> "Nigel!" addressed Sydney sternly, "Go with the flow!"</div> <div> Nigel wasn't impressed.</div> <div> "Oh come on, Nigel... we've been in worse situations" Sydney reminded him. Nigel thought about this for a moment before rattling off about some of their other 'extreme' moments!</div> <div> Sydney soon bought Nigel back to reality, and the two eventually arrived at the spot of the co-ordinates. Instantly seeing nothing, Nigel began to panic! "Oh Sydney! You've gone and brought us on a lost cause... I'm going to get Claudia!"</div> <div> "Nigel!" Sydney called, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him back. " I think I see something... down there"</div> <div> Sydney knelt to the ground and brushed away some grass. Nigel helped, too- pulling away fallen leaves.  Diligently, Sydney moved her fingers over the area- making out a heap. </div> <div> "I think I can make it out!" said Sydney excitedly- her eyes wide and her face glowing. The two began to dig away hurriedly. Sure enough, after a while of intense digging, a small wooden chest was visible, and with a forceful tug, Sydney pulled it from the ground.</div> <div> "The supernatural defense kit" exclaimed Sydney, with a smile. Nigel hurriedly searched inside.</div> <div> "It's all there" he told happily, "The cross, the water and the ring!"</div> <div> "Now, time to pay Claudia's new friends a visit... don't you think?" asked Sydney.</div> <div> Nigel nodded and got to his feet. However, he soon wished he was back on the floor for out of the bushes came two young men- their faces ridiculously painted in white, and their lips black. Their clothes were black, too... leather jackets, black sweatpants were to name but a few. </div> <div> "I don't think so!" croaked one of the men, with a smirk. Then, nudging his accomplice, he shouted: </div> <div> "Get them!"</div> <div>  Sydney moved into a fighting position... and tossed Nigel the defense kit. He nervously grabbed it and then turned his attention to the man running at full tilt toward him. Struggling at first, he managed to block the first three punches thrown at him and then driven by the desperate desire to save Claudia, he nudged his way into the vampire shouting- "Don't... you... ever... hurt... my... friend... AGAIN!" It worked for the vampire fell to the ground and upon impact, was unconscious!</div> <div> Sydney, on the other hand, was having difficulty- clearly, this man was strong. Managing to escape a strangle, Sydney punched the man in the face and grabbed a nearby branch to defend herself. Twirling the branch, she blocked several strikes and eventually managed to ward him off.</div> <div> Sydney turned to Nigel- "<I>Now... </I>time to pay Claudia's friends a visit!"</div> <div> ***********************************************************************************************************************</div> <div> A sinister man entered the room. His sharp features and his towering body made him a threatening sight. Claudia was now very aware that he was the leader of this cult... and if only for that reason alone, hated the sight of him.</div> <div> "Oh Claudia!" he giggled, "The wine has boiled!"</div> <div> Claudia's lips began to tremble... and she struggled under the tight rope that bound her hands and feet.</div> <div> "Everybody drink your wine!" addressed the leader, "Very soon we will be drinking <I>her </I>blood!"</div> <div> "No!" screamed Claudia, struggling once again.</div> <div> After a wave of gulping sounds, the leader placed down his goblet and turned to Claudia. Suddenly, she pulled her hands and legs free and began thrusting her body in all directions.</div> <div> "You shouldn't have given me such a sharp ring" she screamed, beating the leader as best she could. However, the leader soon restrained her.</div> <div> "Stupid girl!" he screamed... grabbing a dagger. "Your time is up!"</div> <div> However, there was sudden alarm for just a little distance away music could be heard!</div> <div> "What's that music?!" cried one of the vampires.</div> <div> Suddenly, entering the room came Sydney and Nigel, big grins painted across their faces. Above her head, Sydney held a portable stereo and gave a little swing of the hips as she entered. Claudia let out a huge sigh of relief and smiled at Sydney.</div> <div> "Hold up the party boys cos you just can't have a good one without the vital ingredients" exclaimed Sydney.</div> <div> "Good music!" explained Nigel!</div> <div> "Decorations!" cried Sydney, dangling the cross.</div> <div> "Good drink!" teased Nigel, wriggling the holy-water bottle between his fingers.</div> <div> "And gifts" finished Sydney, revealing the ring on her middle finger.</div> <div> "What are you waiting for? Get them!" screamed the leader, worriedly. Nigel quickly ran to help Claudia to her feet and led her to safety. Meanwhile, Sydney dodged the punches of an attacking vampire and managed to pour several drops of holy water over him. After seeing him fall to the ground in agony, the other vampires began rushing in the opposite direction.</div> <div> "I suppose <I>they've</I> decided to become peace-loving hippies!" joked Sydney. </div> <div> Nigel, now returning to the room, found himself face-to-face with the leader. Unable to escape his tight grip, Nigel struggled on the spot.</div> <div> "Oh dear little man... you've got yourself in a tight spot, haven't you?!" cackled the leader, slowly lowering his head to sink his teeth into Nigel's neck. Nigel's eyes widened with panic- yet not for long! For the leader began to fall backwards... spitting out in disgust. He had bitten into the holy cross that Nigel had draped around his neck, by accident. The leader fell to the ground with a thud. Nigel turned to Sydney and smiled. "Mission impossible!" exclaimed Sydney... "Mission accomplished!" remarked a happy Claudia from the entrance of the room!</div> <div> ***********************************************************************************************************************</div> <div> "Did Claudia come into today?" asked Sydney, entering the office.</div> <div> "I haven't seen her" commented Nigel, "You can't blame her! She's been through a hard time!"</div> <div> " I suppose! After yesterday's adventure, I think we should <I>all</I> let things all hang out" cried Sydney, ripping off her jacket.</div> <div> Suddenly, a figure walked into the office. She was dressed in a multi-coloured top and had wacky sun-glasses on. It was Claudia!</div> <div> "Morning!" she cried, "I figured if it would be best, after all that vampire lark, to... well, become a peace-loving hippy! Peace!"</div> <div> Sydney and Nigel slowly looked at each other and shook their heads! </div> <div> "Claudia will be Claudia!" chuckled Sydney. "Oh Claudia!"</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
